Agra Weaner Championship Series Returns for its 13th Edition, Celebrating Excellence in Namibian Cattle Production.

The eagerly awaited 13th edition of the Agra Weaner Championship Series is set to commence in 2024, sparking excitement among cattle farmers nationwide. From Karasburg to Grootfontein, 18 auctions will take place between 9 July and 5 September 2024, providing a prestigious platform for producers to showcase their exceptional work. Additionally, four auctions will be held in the communal areas of Aminus, Okondjatu, Talismanus, and Okakarara, aiming to engage and uplift these emerging regions.

The Agra Weaner Championship Series has a dual purpose: to build capacity within participating communities and to honour top producers for their outstanding achievements. This esteemed series not only provides a significant cashflow boost to numerous cattle farmers but also incentivizes excellence in weaner quality.

By participating in this prestigious series, producers have the opportunity to measure and compare their production standards and management practices on a national scale. The judging criteria are standardized to ensure fairness and impartiality. Animals compete in one of three categories: Feedlot Potential (Tollies), Field Potential (Tollies), or Breeding Potential (Heifers).
In addition to recognizing the top performers in each category, the Agra Weaner Championship Series also acknowledges the contributions of buyers. Prizes are awarded for the highest amount spent during the series and the largest total number of animals purchased throughout the auctions.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three winners in each competition category, with distributions taking place at each auction during the series. The culmination of the event will be the announcement of regional winners and overall champions at the prestigious Gala Event in October.

The Agra Weaner Championship Series epitomizes inclusivity and highlights the exceptional quality of Namibian cattle production. Achieving recognition in this competition requires an unwavering commitment to excellent farming and management practices.

Agra extends its heartfelt gratitude to its official event partners for their unwavering support.
